Recipe 12.2 Viewing the Replication Status of Several Domain Controllers
12.2.1 Problem
You want to take
a quick snap-shot of replication
activity for one or more domain controllers.
12.2.2 Solution
12.2.2.1 Using a command-line interface
The following command will show the replication status of all the
domain controllers in the forest:
> repadmin /replsum
You can also use * as a wildcard character to view
the status of a subset of domain controllers. The following command
will display the replication status of only the servers that begin
with the name dc-rtp:
> repadmin /replsum dc-rtp*
|
This command is only available with the Windows Server 2003 version
of repadmin.

12.2.3 Discussion
The new /replsum option in
repadmin is a great way to quickly determine if
there are any replication issues. This command should be your
starting point if you suspect any replication problems. If you are
running /replsum against a lot of domain
controllers, you can use the /sort option to order
the returned table output by any of the table columns. You can also
use the /errorsonly option to display only the
replication partners who are encountering errors.
